Surely if the Society only has £20k currently in the bank it means that it has lent a significant sum to the club which will be returned to the pot when available? My understanding was that society funds were for interest free loans to the club for cash flow purposes as we dont have access to an overdraft?

Very difficult choice. Lucas was head and shoulders above everyone first half but unsurprisingly faded 2nd half as he ran out of steam. Lionel was great 2nd half but quiet first half. Cadden had his usual solid performance but feel he needs to back himself more when he is one one one with the opposing fullback. Went for McDonald for motm as he was involved in just about everything good we did today. He was an absolute nuisance to their defence from start to finish in the way Dougie Arnott used to be. Brilliant.

Nearly didnt go today. So glad I did. I wouldnt have believed it otherwise! As others have said, it shows the difference when the manager keeps it simple and plays everyone in their correct positions (bar Ainsworth who was outsanding) Moult and McDonald have a great understanding and with the support from Cadden and Lionel, County just couldnt live with us. Clay and Lucas kept it simple and retained possession well. Lucas played with his head up the whole game looking for a forward pass. What a difference. The defence did ok but there were still a couple of sticky moments from set pieces and backing of players encouraging shots from distance, so that lesson still hasnt been learned. The starting 11 deserves the chance to go again next week.

I dont disagree with that. But is sacrificing the midfield playing to our strengths or ignoring our weaknesses? The centre of midfield has been an issue for us for some time now.

We need to stop conceding the midfield to our opponents. If they are going to play 5 in there lets match them up and make sure our guys win their individual battles.

Cadden for me. Was the only one who maintained a decent level of performance over the 90 minutes.

I dont need to post anything tonight. Exactly this.

Lots of good performances on Saturday. Thought Clay did well, takes a lot of pressure off of Lasley, Cadden was outstanding. There is only one choice for MoM though. 4 goals, should have had a 5th, movement and link up play absolutely outstanding. Louis, welcome back. You've been missed!

No brainer. Craig Samson. Couldve easy been 10 otherwise.

I think there were a lot of things wrong tonight. Too defensive from the off. Invited them on top of us and couldnt get up the park. I think we missed McHugh. He and Clay looked a good pairing together. Much as I love Las he was way off the pace tonight and I just dont think he has it anymore at that level. Too many individual errors defensively. All that said and done, Celtic have much better players than we have and on that form I dont think it would have mattered what we did they would have had too much for us. Sammie saved us from an absolute hiding.

Aye the odds have fair come in overight. Bet365 in to 12/1 from 20/1 Skybet in to 10/1 from 18/1 Looks like a few Dossers have taken advantage of the silly prices. I dont really expect us to win. But those odds still look generous. Here's hoping the bookies will be proved wrong tonight.

I see we are 20/1 on Bet365 to win in 90 mins. I know our record there is shite but thats an outrageous price. Obviously trying to entice me into jinxing our chances!

The delay in Moults op was supposedly due to a waiting list at the hospital so not sure how the LC fixtures can be blamed for the timing.

Im not Chalmers biggest fan and Im not sure that he has what it takes to have a future at the club, but I thought he did okay when he came on yesterday. He clearly looks more comfortable in midfield than at fullback. I suppose thats all relative to his previous poor performances.

Lots of good performances. Thought Cadden was excellent particularly in first half. McHugh and Clay looked pretty good together too. Went for Heneghan though. He looks better and better every game.

Made it more difficult than it needed to be but a good 3 points in the end. Thought we were very comfortable first half and more than deserved to be in front at half time. The goal was a lovely piece of play and a nice finish from Lionel who had his best game in a long time. 2nd half we got a great start with another well worked goal albeit the Killie defender appeared to gift Cadden possession. But for an abysmal finish from Lionel we should have been 3 up and home and hosed before we conceded, setting us up for a nervy last 15 mins. Lots to be pleased about but still room for improvement.

I like what they have done with the league cup. Having the final in the first half of the season is good. Not sure about having the euro teams seeded as theyve already had preferential treatment by being given a by unto the knockout stages. Definitely an argument for making it an unseeded draw from there. I dont like the challenge cup revamp. As stated above it was a chance for the lower league teams to play for some silverware. Should have remained so. The U20s already have a cup competition.

Some of the subtitles are a hoot!

Home game for me. See you all in the Brass and Granite about 1pm!

Always difficult to tell what a player has to offer with limited gametime but for what its worth my assessment would be MChugh>Lucas>Clay All similar types of player and given we've already signed McHugh Im not sure what Lucas or Clay would offer other than keeping Campbell out of the first team. Might be harsh but I think the money can be better spent.

Cadden by a distance....

Clay was average. No where near as good as McHugh or the brief glimpses Ive had of Lucas. Only one game but against lower league opposition didnt impress that much.

Anyone know the best pubs in Stranraer? Preferably between the railway station and the ground!

I would imagine that most if not all of it will go to paying Les back and getting us on a firm footing for entering into fan ownership.

Pretty much this ^^^^
